About this award
Southwest Research Institute was awarded a $2.76 million Cost Plus Fixed Fee contract by NASA's Goddard Space Center on December 6, 2022, for Phase A and B Bridge work on the Geospace Dynamics Constellation (GDC) Comprehensive Auroral Precipitation Experiment (CAPE). The contract, which has an ultimate completion date of July 30, 2025, supports NASA's Geospace Dynamics Constellation program, a multi-observatory mission designed to advance understanding of fundamental geospace physics and auroral phenomena. Work under this award is being performed at SwRI's San Antonio, Texas facility. This award was issued under an open competition with no set-aside designation.
The CAPE payload represents one component of the broader GDC initiative, which seeks to integrate multiple science investigations and instruments across at least six observatories. SwRI's involvement in the Phase A and B bridge activities supports the development and preliminary design phases of the auroral precipitation experiment ahead of the planned instrument delivery by December 2025. However, the contract notice indicates a complete termination for convenience of the NASA GDC CAPE program, reflecting potential changes in program scope or priorities subsequent to this award.
